Is that really me? Or just who I used to be? And is that how I want to be remembered?”

. . . all at once he found himself spent, a slack empty skin, a sponge with all the strength squeezed out of him. All that joy and power had drained back down to whatever sunless sea they came from. He was turning back into himself again.

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ | NOT ME

there’s chocolate in the freezer, and your favourite biscuits hidden safely in the cupboard. pretty plants in the garden and breathtaking sunsets. the stars twinkling soundlessly at night, and the little diy drawers you used to make. your favourite scrunchie, your favourite t-shirt and that mini jacket you love. none of it feels the same. somewhere along the road, you lost interest. you forgot how to rant to someone in excitement, now always worried of overwhelming them. you’re alone, but scared to reach out. you look at the walls of your childhood home and wonder if you’ll ever get her back. you got rid of those barbies, but they still haunt your closet and that cute apron you always wanted? you forgot about that too. you forgot how to dance, how to let go of things and how to care for yourself. you forgot how to live. you lost yourself and that’s all you can think of as you type letters to yourself in the cool moonlight.

DIE TO THE OLD SELF. SAY GOODBYE TO THE OLD STORY FOREVER

THERES NOTHING BUT THE IDEAL TO EXPERIENCE THAT YOU LITERALLY NEVER THINK LIKE THE OLD VERSION.

Never think like the old that youre constantly revising anything that contradicts your new self and live and know the ideal is here now to experience.

You can ONLY be the ideal. Try it for today. Take the discipline for an entire day where you apply every single law you know and have read countless times. Saturate and commit for one single day. Then go again tomorrow. Stop living as someone else and then wondering why you’re that person. If you catch yourself truly not being the ideal and being controlled by current circumstances you’re not applying the law at the moment, maybe for hours in the day, or for days at a time and that alone is sent forth for more experience and creation. There is only now. REVISE. BRAZEN IMPUDENCE. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. AND ITS GIVEN; the old unfavourable or the new.

Truly see and look at yourself truly and how you’re thinking and being. Outside circumstances and old life carrying the narrative in your mind? Are you visualizing and affirming half ass on top of that?

Please. For today, do what you know you must do. Revise any thought or experience that says youre in the old. Revise any old circumstances or issues and apply the law. And continue for as long as you can. Being the ideal feels so much better than living with the unfavourable. It’s just hard for your mind and body to let go sometimes. Surrender and let go of the old unfavourable burdens etc and truly allow yourself to be happy now.

OLD SELF - Old forever

[daydream-the-demon]

11-year-old me.

Bruh, okay so I love creating and writing ideas for TV shows. Once I made an idea for a show I called "The Secret Assassin" (yes, I know, VERY creative name /sarcastic) and I made profiles like these of characters. And at the end of the Google Doc, I decided to do one for myself.

P.S. The names of my friends are censored out since the people did not consent to their names being shown. But it's funny because the first friend we've kinda fallen apart, one current friend's last name was written wrong, all the rest of the people have nothing to do with being friends, and then Max has his name publicly online (check him out on YouTube, he does Roblox videos for the most part).

If I were to write this profile it would have been very different.

This is what I would have written now as my profile, may not be completely accurate but at least it's better than it was before, now it doesn't look so one-dimensional (also my name at the top changed because 1. it's Sergeyevna, not Cergeyevna and 2. it's technically not in my legal documents, at least not my American one):

Ah, what a delight it was to see this and laugh at, and how I grew to the way I am now.

Edit: I realized what a weeb I was, lmfao.

Move In Silence.

Dear Twenty-Ones,

It’s common to want to tell people you know about your achievements and dreams. In hopes of love and support, we share the things we care about most.

It’s normal.

However, should you do it? Yes, but not as often as you think.

Silence…

When you move in silence, you are working towards your goals without speaking of them to others. You don’t post about possible opportunities you have. You don’t tell your acquaintances of the job you just received. You don’t tell your family about the car you will buy.

Moving in silence protects you from negativity and doubt. It keeps you safe from the resentment or jealousy others will have.

Believe it or not, not everyone is on your side. You will have people in your life comfortable with you until you surpass their expectations. They may figure that you will never amount to who they are or what they have done. People with these idealisms will always reveal their true thoughts about you once you start showing up for yourself. Once you achieve things they never thought was possible, they will share their distaste. Unfortunately, your closest friends, family, and even significant other can be one of them.

Social media can play a big factor in halting your actions. Say you post about a secret project you are working on for example. (You call it a secret, but it’s secret to me since your telling people.) Say you will be done with said project in a week and will be revealing it soon. I, your audience, wait the entire week to see what your project is about. I may have built up some excitement for you and really was interested in it. But you don’t post anything. You never talk about your project ever again. That would lead me to believe you gave up or it didn’t work out. Quite embarrassing.

Stop embarrassing yourself. Harsh but true and necessary. Everything is not meant to work out and that is okay. But posting your failures before it even began can lead you to be the butt of a joke. When no one is aware of what you are working on, you can fail comfortably. You can learn from your actions independently and decide what to try next. You do not need an audience for every moment of your life and that is okay. Words without action are simply words.

Think about what you are trying to achieve and if you need the support around you. Not everyone in your life is miserable and would wish failure or harm towards you. But choose your audience wisely. Choose the people who genuinely care. The people who would genuinely show excitement at your excitement alone. Be true to yourself and never hide your shine. If they are too blinded by it, they are not meant to be around you.

Stay safe my friends and before you make that post or tell anyone your business, remember to move in silence.

Au revoir,

First picture is from 2017 second was taken today. So much has changed in my life from being 20 to almost 27. I stopped coloring my hair. I stopped tracking macros and obsessing over how I looked. I got married, and moved back to my hometown. I didn’t even know if my tumblr was still active.

My health took a turn two years ago, both physically and mentally, and after my wedding I realized how much I missed knowing my body. I started lifting again two weeks ago consistently, I’m so far from where I came from but so excited to be back to myself. Here’s to many progress pics, sweaty days, and healthier times ahead.

Collum had always hated that boy, the boy he'd been, hated him for his misery and shame and weakness and his manners and his peat-bog accent. But that boy was him. And he couldn't have been as weak as all that if he got through everything he did and still kept going.

You are being called to release your old self: your prior afflictions, past relationships, and all of the guilt from the time you spent denying yourself what you really wanted and needed out of life. Recovering from self-sabotage always necessitates a process of letting go.
